@op restart your laptop and try to connect through another USB port. Also unplug the Ext HDD cable and connect back before doing the step.

Yes, try it on another PC and If it's the same thing, change the USB cable. If it persist after changing the cable, then I'll suggest you open the External drive casing and get a new casing. If this still doesn't solve the problem then your drive is gone.
